If you give him a good picture of what you are expecting, he'll do everything he can to deliver. Having grown up in the culture, and the area, he knows exactly how to get you the most out... More

Just back from a wonderful 3 day trip with Jon. He was courteous, informative and best of all, incredibly flexible and eager to make this a wonderful trip for my niece and me. He took us to beautiful towns to truly experience the flavor of the Basque countryside, combining this with the city flavor of old and new San Sebastian... More

Flexible, personable, knowledgeable, and cheerful. After swinging through London and Paris my wife and I ended our all-too-brief European tour in the Basque region. Jon (who quit his day job of programming to devote himself full-time to guiding people in the country he loves) was a delight, giving us expert commentary, sage advice and ready wit. In addition to our... More

With short notice and the weather changing, Jon was still able to put on a great tour for me! His knowledge and language skills were a big plus. Thanks for the trip Jon! I´ll see you around. More

Our experience with Basque Tours was great. We told them what we wanted to see and do and they made it all happen. On top of that they took us to amazing places we would have never known to visit.

We traveled with Basque Tours from San Sebastien to Bilbao. Also went to Biaritz on the same day. Jon was an excellent tour guide. He's very knowledgeable and incredibly easy to spend a day with. More

Jon Galdos is everything you'd hope for in a guide. He's relaxed and easy-going, yet organized and well-prepared. He's incredible knowledgeable about pays basque - history, politics, culture, etc, but never boring. He's sensitive to what you're looking for in the experience, versus simply offering a set package. Plus, he's helpful beyond the tours we selected (eg. pintxos/restaurant recommendations). We... More

My mother had been researching our ancestry for many years and had decided to visit Spain for 2 weeks to learn more about our heritage. We made contact with Basque Tours through email to arrange a tour of the cities we wanted to visit.What a wonderful surprise to find our tour guide, Jon, had contacted the historical society before we...
